Title: Alternatives To Bankruptcy — Advising Seniors When Bankruptcy Is Not An Option
Date: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 Time: 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM EDT
According to an AARP study, between 1991 and 2007, bankruptcy filings by senior citizens went up by 150%. Many potential clients seek bankruptcy at the wrong time – when their economic situation is at the worst and they have no money. Some clients are completely collection-proof and therefore have no need to file bankruptcy, and others should not or cannot file bankruptcy for other reasons. Rather than simply rejecting cases as inappropriate or outside priorities, this webinar will provide guidance on how to advise clients why bankruptcy is inappropriate in certain situations, and suggest alternative strategies for dealing with their crushing debt burden.
The presenter is Michelle Weinberg, Supervisory Attorney of the Chicago Seniors/Consumer Practice Group of LAF – Legal Assistance Foundation.
Additional sponsorship for this Webinar is provided by a grant from the Administration on Aging. This webinar is part of a series of National Elder Rights Training Project webinars for the National Legal Resource Center.
There is no charge for this webinar.
